Default blue headlights

I noticed this picture on Club Aristo, the head lights are colored blue, is this some kind of replacement piece or do you think they were painted? I know there was some sort of option for smoked lens, but do other color options exist out there for the GS head lights?

Here's the source

The outer lense is painted. If you search the site they show how. Its nothing you can buy here though. You can always open up your lights and paint the reflector any color you want whick looks better and wont effect to light output. RMMGS4 will show you something similar at the EOS meet. You can get any color u want. Theres low gloss black like mine. OEM greenish blue, OEM black chrome which could be darker which be nicer looking, OEM Titanium, Than you can color match your car or what ever color you would like.

Yeah, but he doesn't live in the US. Maybe Japan has different rules and laws? I doubt it though. They are probably a lot more strict than the US.

I think that the laws are somewhat the same about the blue and red lights on vehicles that are not voluntary Fire Fighters or police....I know that in some Carribean and South American countries..HID's are illegal...Period!!

Tisk Tisk Tisk... you guys should read the coilovers disclaimer before you put them on. FOR OFF-ROAD USE ONLY. It is illegal to change out your vehicle's suspension.
